At Michael Gallie, we have seen a growing trend towards using 3D measured building surveys in recent years. This is due to the increasing adoption of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry.
BIM is a digital representation of a building that can be used to plan, design, and construct a building more efficiently. 3D Measured Building Survey deliverables are better suited for BIM than 2D deliverables. This is because 3D models can be easily imported into BIM software and used to create accurate representations of buildings. 3D models can also be used to generate clash detection reports, which can help to identify potential problems with a building design before construction begins.
As the adoption of BIM continues to grow, the demand for 3D Measured Building Survey deliverables is likely to increase. However, 2D Measured Building Survey deliverables will still be needed for some purposes, such as planning applications.
Michael Gallie is a leading provider of Measured Building Survey services in the UK. We have over 20 years of experience and a team of experienced surveyors. We can provide 2D and 3D Measured Building Survey deliverables to meet your specific needs.
If you are not sure whether to use a 2D or 3D Measured Building Survey deliverable, we can help you choose the right one for your requirements.

FAQs
What is a measured building survey?
A measured building survey is a process of accurately documenting the physical characteristics of a building. This information is then used for a variety of purposes, such as planning applications, construction projects, and insurance claims.
What are the benefits of using 3D Measured Building Survey deliverables?
3D Measured Building Survey deliverables offer a number of benefits over 2D deliverables, including:
* They are easier to visualise the building than 2D drawing information.
* They can be used for BIM.
* They can be used to generate clash detection reports.
* They can be used to create more realistic visualisations of buildings.
What are the drawbacks of using 3D Measured Building Survey deliverables?
3D Measured Building Survey deliverables are more expensive and time-consuming to produce than 2D deliverables but are starting to become comparable cost-wise as survey technology continually evolves. They are not as widely accepted by planning authorities.
When should I use a 2D Measured Building Survey deliverable?
You should use a 2D Measured Building Survey deliverable if:
* You are only required to submit a 2D plan to planning authorities.
* You are on a budget.
* You do not need the features of a 3D deliverable.
When should I use a 3D Measured Building Survey deliverable?
You should use a 3D Measured Building Survey deliverable if:
* You are using BIM
* You require a Digital Twin.
* You need the rich features of a 3D deliverable.
* You want to create realistic visualisations of buildings.
